Pickup available at Dawson Street
Usually ready within 24-48 hours - Pre-order items available on day of release.
In celebration of the composer’s 90th birthday in October this year, Deutsche Grammophon re-presents Steve Reich’s iconic 1974 3-LP set in its original format and in a brand new pure analogue mastering & cutting by Emil Berliner Studios.
Recorded in the Polydor Studios in Hamburg in January 1974, this 3-LP release was a landmark in Reich’s career, and a prescient endorsement by a prestigious label of a burgeoning minimalist composer. It comprised his longest work to date, Drumming (1970–71), lasting nearly an hour and a half, and two later works, Six Pianos and Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ (both 1973).
This 3-LP all-analogue reissue presents the definitive recordings of these works, with members of the Steve Reich Ensemble and the composer himself; and will be the first time this release has been mastered and cut Directly from the original edited 4-track tapes.
Presenting the premiere recording of the FULL version of Drumming (85 min) Mastered and cut from the original edited 4-track master tapes by Rainer Maillard and Sidney C. Meyer (EBS), utilising their 100% pure analogue techniques (AAA) developed for the ‘Original Source Series’, and pressed on 180g heavyweight virgin vinyl at Pallas Housed in a hinged lift-off-lid box, the recording is presented with original artwork.
